I Descend Into The Dark

Noted Nest

Updated: Oct 5, 2024

By Dr. Pratik Pravin Bhat



My psychiatrist said everything would be all right.

He gave me pills

That helped me thrive.

I was used to it now,

But the voices in my head

Wouldn’t help me remember

To forget

How things had progressed.


He cheated on me, with her.

I was waiting for him,

But he was in another girl’s room.

I tracked him through Google.

I had all the accounts.

I opened the door.

I confronted them both.

He slapped me on my face,

Said that I was a disgrace

To his love.


The memories I had

Started fading in time.

I wanted to commit suicide, though

Instead, I drowned myself in wine.

Smoked a cigarette.

Opened a bottle of scotch.

Threw into the abyss

The pills that had been prescribed.


Insanity was my sanity.

I would travel with the light.

My path chooses the dark now.

I will ruin myself,

Knowing

That the only way to

Ever be happy

Is to eliminate my

Humbled existence.
